DECLINED.

President Cleveland has written q
letter declining to attend the Grand
Army Encampment at st. Louis.
The gist of his reasons is that his
attendance might cause 'discord in the
organization. This was to the G.. A.
r. A second letter was addressed to
the Mayor and Chairman in which
the exactions of his public duties are
put forward as the excuse, but in
which he also takes occasion to say ::
Il beg you to understand that
am not conscious of any act of mine
which should make me fear to meet
the Grand Army of the Republic, or
any other assemblage of my fellow
citizens. The account of my official
stewardship is always ready for pre-
sentation TO my countrymen.
! should not be frank if / failed to
confess, while disclaiming all resent
ment, that | have been hurt by the un
nOlGh ANU IuNOhitu dbbdChS upon
me growing out of this matter, and
the reckless manner in which my ac-
tions and motives have been misrep-
resented both publicly and privately
for which, however, the Grand Army
of the Republic, as a body, is by no
means responsible.
The threats OF personal violence
and harm in case | undertake the
trip in qeustion which scores of mis-
guided, unbalanced men under slim
illus of excited feeling have made,
are not even considered"
Really we think that Grover is affect
ed somewhat by the hot weather and

Gladstone to Visit America.

The London correspondent of the
Boston Herald cables as follows
"Rumors are again afoat to the
effect that Mr. Gladstone intends
making a visit to America, and coup.
led with them are hints that the chief
object of Mr. Blaine's trip to London
is to induce the venerable English
statesman to cross the Atlantic Mr..
Gladstone's sprivate secretary some
time ago denied the report of such
an intention on the part of the great
liberal leader in a letter which was
given to the public, and the Grand
Old Man himself intimated in brief
epistle to an American, also publish
ed, that it was unlikely that man of
his advanced years would undertake
such a journey. Notwithstanding
these denials | find the belief quite
general that the eX-premier has the
trip in contemplation, having been
persuaded to a favorable view of it
by Mr.. Blaine, who, it is said, has
represented that such step would be
of enormous benefit to the home-rule
cause by stimulating the sympathy
which already exists in the United
States, and consequently charging
the flow of pecuniary support which
has proved Of such incalculable adj
vantage to the national cause in par
Lament. In this way, as the two
wings of the home-rule party are in
full cooperation at the polls, the
chances of a Gladstonian triumph in
the next general election would be
materially strengthened, and many
politicians believe that an appeal to
/ the people viii come within a twelve
month

FEMALE SUFFRA GE.

One of the strongest arguments
against female suffrage comes from
the venerable Cassius M. Clay, of
Kentucky. He says that, "if the
woman agrees with her husband her
suffrage is useless and if she does
not her suffrage is fatal to the fami-
ly." Break the family relations
and the best safeguard of govern
ment is gone. A regular red hot
political discussion between husband
and wife would be more than it could
stand, and would end in misery and
destruction.

CYoIers Gain a Victory.

On Saturday last Gov. d. B. Hill,
of New York, signed the bill recent
introduced by the Rights and Priv
leges Committee Of the New York
State Division of the League of
American Wheelman, through Chair
man Isaac B. Potter, who also acted
as counsel for the Division. The
bill was introducen into the Assem-
bly, on April IL by Assemblyman
Cantor, was read twice, and by a
unanimous vote was ordered to a
third reading. 1t was afterwards re-
ferred to the Judiciary Committee,
who passed it almost unanimously.
Senators Daily and Durham were it's
only opponents. 1t then went to the
Governor, but owing to the hard
fight made by the Central Park Com
missioners, a hearing was granted.
This took place on June l6, when
both the friends and the enemies of
the bill appeared at the executive
chamber and presented their views.
Messrs. Pratt, Potter and Luscomb
spoke ably in favor of the bill, and a
brief was afterwards submitted to the
Governor. The thirty days allowed
him for consideration expired on the
Goth, and on Saturday afternoon he
signed it, making it law. The bill
says:
Section /. That bicycles, tricycles
and all other vehicles propelled by
manumotiye or pedomotive power,
are hereby declared to be carriages,
within the meaning of that term as
used in the section of the Revised
Statutes of the State of New York
and all persons by whom bicycles,
and said other vehicles are used, rid
den or propelled upon the public
highways of this state, shall be en-
titled to the same rights and subject
to the same restrictions in the use
thereof as are prescribed in said Re-
vised Statutes in the cases of per-
sons using carriages drawn by horses.
Section 2. The authorities having
charge or control ofany public street,
public highway, public pathway,
driveway or public place in this
state, shall have no power or author
ity to pass, enforce, or maintain any
ordinance, rule or regulation, by
which any person using bicycle or
a tricycle., shall be excluded or pro-
hibited from the free use of any pub
lie highway, street, avenue, road
way, driveway, parkway or public
place, at any time when the same is
open to the free use of persons hav-
ing and using other pleasure car
riages, &c.

WEST VIRGINIA will receive from
the Government this year $3.50, to
provide arms and equipments for her
militia. The State should supple
ment this sum with similar appro-
priation, to sustain and maintain the
militia of the State. She is behind
the other States in this particular.
The Zouaves and Camden Light Ar
tillery, Of this place, had much trou-
bic in even obtaining ammunition,
and were obliged to exc out q miser-
able existence the best way possible.
